That, folks, is one fine flamingo pose. Only the best for BCRL readers.

Alright, if we ignore the fact I look like a dork, this is a relatively inoffensive outfit. But 15 outfits into this 30 x 30 challenge, you know what I realized? I’m a dress girl. Well, this is not exactly a revelation. I’ve always been a dress girl. It’s one of the reasons I hate Edmonton’s weather – dress season is too damn short. (It is not the only reason. Not even close.) So it reeeeally annoys me when we get too many rainy days cutting into my blink-and-you’ll-miss-it favourite time of year. Wearing pants in the summer – by necessity not choice – should be a crime. If I ever run for public office, look for that as part of my platform. Weather control: it’s a winner.

OK, I kinda cheated. Does this count as a different outfit from this one? The accessories are different so … maybe? Let’s go with “yes”, because I’m trying to burn through this stupid challenge as quickly as I can. Which is not quickly enough. Grumble, grumble.

Oh, and grumble some more at how everything looks askew in these photos. I’m not helping, either, with my creative posing. Handbag worn as clutch?

oh, for the love of Pete!

As if. I need both hands, plus another 3 or 4, to wrangle the kids out of the house and into the car in less than 20 minutes. It’s a good day when I remember the bag, period. Grumble!

Hey, look at that! A relatively cute outfit, and not a moment too soon. I’m enjoying the restrained colour palette I’m rocking for this 30 x 30 challenge, and this is a good example. Two neutrals (three if you count the bag) and pale blue, plus the slightest hint of yellow. So restrained. I can barely recognize myself.

Wait! Smiling bitch face? Check. It’s still me, you guys. Phew!

Ryban aviators; capsule dressing
Hellooooo, sunshine!

(Note: This is probably the epitome of no1curr, but a quick update. I’m having something of a blogxistential crisis. However, since I committed to the 30 x 30 challenge (and the posts are in the can already), I’ve decided that I might as well let it run for the rest of the month. After that, I don’t know. Thanks for reading.)
